Someone (EddieZilker) essentially called this is a "superficial assumption" so I decided to test it in the simplest way possible.

For the record, that's not at all what I was getting at regarding the pursuit of your thesis. |

I don't (and didn't) just call people here out of touch because they don't like dubstep. It's the way people talk about music and talk about the scene that shows they just aren't at all connected with it. And as I said earlier in this thread, I reached my conclusions about this forum long before that dubstep thread. |
Simpleton you are not, but you seem to think you are so cool and smart because you listen to such a wide variety of music.
Me, im just a douche who only listens to Trance.. well its the best drug there is and i just cannot have enough of it.. even after listening to it every day for 12 years. |

That sounds unbelievably boring.
I listened to a lot of trance when I was starting out, that gave me a solid foundation of music to reference to when I was learning techniques and basic trance form and whatnot, but now I just find it boring to listen to, save a couple of artists I really like.
Hell I don't even listen to a lot of purely electronic music anymore. |

| Does it have to be albums released in 2010, or can it be albums that were simply heard for the first time in 2010? |

| I think I listened to maybe two albums this year one of them being Eddie's, the other I don't remember. I'm way out of the producing game at the moment lol |

You're trying far too hard to find some simplistic causality behind my attitude, as if you can find some simple explanation with a simple refutation and then you won't have to consider the possibility that I'm right. I see this forum as a group of people who know everything, but know nothing. Not because my mother ran away with an amateur electronic musician when I was six, but because that's how you people come across. |
Thanks for telling me in both past and present tense what you think you did.
Simpleton is a word I'm assuming you are familiar with, due to how fast you chose that label for me and began to employ you're own defense mechanisms for it (almost like you're arguing with yourself which is pretty entertaining).
But rather than prove me wrong, you only just further reinforced that fact by again renacting that behavoir. Although personally I think the label "idiot" is wayy more suitable in this case.
So its not dubstep, but the mysterious and highly subjective *way* we talk about music? I am amazed and baffled, that you are able to infer that we are out of touch, just by the *way* we talk about music. You sound like you're related to Chris Angel making statements like that.
Why don't you educate us on the proper *way* to talk about music you tard? Seriously, I have never heard such a sad excuse for reasoning in my life. The word *way* in communication (encase you're not aware) is largely associated to nonverbal behavoir, behavoir you are simply unable to pick up on in here. Voice inflection, eye contact, body language... the way we talk on here doesn't exactly reveal those aspects of behavoir. And you attempting to derive behavoiral theories from such meaningless text just further seals the fact that you are a simpleton.. and an idiot.
I'm not trying to prove anything you haven't already proven for us. You don't see me trying to say "the way you talk about music makes it obvious you don't know about producing it". Because that would mean I'm an idiot, and even though I believe it I still have no reason or grounds to make an arguement on it. Yet you will actually sit here pushing this nonsense like a single person on here agrees with you, which they don't.
Tell me Mr. Angel, being as though you are obviously psychic, maybe you can try telling me what my horoscope will be? The sad thing is horoscopes likely have more validity than this sad sad arguement of yours. |

System J is scratching at something when he says we could be out of touch.
One of the most common themes here is along the lines 'edm is poorer for paying too little attention to melody and too much to style and sound'.
Just go back to about 1965 where you will find the established people saying these new kids wanting to distort thier guitars is a horrendus sonic crime.
There is always a need to push boundaries and we shouldn't be too hasty to diminish newer ways of expression.
My honest feeling - sure I enjoy and value a nice melody, but in most cases this isn't enough now - Bach, Beethoven, Keane and The Bettles have done masterly work with melody and not anything I could best of course, but what a driving hungry producer can do is find new ways of presenting what is after all nothing more than a disturbance of air particles.
We shouldn't get hung up either way - if you desire to tread the more classic melodic path then fine, but maybe try and see that there is much much more to the sonic pallete than just melody and classic form.
I can get off on just a drum beat and be just as emotionaly charged as if listening to a classic folk song. It's all good. |
